A Reliable People Tracking in Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Monitoring System Using Particle Filter

Abstract

The control room functions as the core nervous system of a nuclear power plant (NPP), emphasizing the crucial need for real-time monitoring of all activities inside to guarantee comprehensive safety. The maintenance of a high level of reliability in the real-time monitoring system within the control room of an NPP is of utmost importance in order to effectively mitigate any potential failures that may occur during the monitoring process. The software and hardware problems can both cause unplanned outages in a large-scale distributed monitoring system. To address the challenge of NPP control room monitoring, a particle filtering-based people tracking system for NPP control room monitoring is introduced to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the NPP control room. In addition to tracking people for the monitoring of the NPP control room, the suggested technique also provides a reliability study of the large-distributed monitoring system. IEEE
